The autoembed mod causes them to be posted that way.

About the only thing you could do would be to change the url abit... add a space after the http://

Testing it here at Support is useless Andrew as the autoembed mod is not being used here

Oooooooooooh, sorry bout that.
Well I DID test it on my forum, it still showed the full size video. The only thing I could use that wouldnt show the image was
Code: [Select]
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P3JB1W-Zzo

However, thats not clickable, so im not sure

It is not on this one as this is the SUPPORT Forum and it  would be incredibly annoying on a support forum to have videos on here all the time.    It was added to all the hosted forums long ago.  Was requested by many people over time.
